A fine pattern position detection method includes: a reading step of reading line patterns formed on a recording medium, at a prescribed read pixel pitch in a prescribed reading direction to acquire read data; a read pixel position acquisition step of acquiring from the read data corresponding positions of the line patterns based on the read pixel pitch; a characteristic value acquisition step of acquiring, from the read data, characteristic values at the corresponding positions of the line patterns and characteristic values at adjacent pixel positions which are adjacent to each of the corresponding positions of the line patterns according to the read pixel pitch; a candidate position output step of applying the characteristic values at the corresponding positions of the line patterns and the characteristic values at the adjacent pixel positions, to a position table in which the characteristic value at each of the corresponding positions of the line patterns and the characteristic values at the adjacent pixel positions are associated with a candidate position which is a candidate position having highest possibility of arrangement of each of the line patterns and which is assigned at a distance shorter than the read pixel pitch from the corresponding position of each of the line patterns, so as to output the candidate position of each of the line patterns; and a recording position acquisition step of calculating a recording position of each of the line patterns on the recording medium, from the corresponding position of each of the line patterns based on the read pixel pitch and the output candidate position of each of the line patterns.
